DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Digest of the SHA3-256 hash function (SHA-3 family, FIPS 202, 256 bits). It is written as 64 hexadecimal digits. SHA3-256 pads its input differently from the original Keccak-256 used by Ethereum, so the two give different digests of the same data. Other 256-bit digests (SHA-256, Keccak-256, BLAKE2b-256, BLAKE3 and Streebog-256) have the same length, so the value alone does not tell them apart: use the field name or context.
